Lost Friend II by LaJuan
|
| He stalks the gangways of my memory |
| Clothed in black, dark hair shimmery. |
| Silently haunting my waking thought, |
| Like a spider's victim, I'm caught. |
|
|
| Fearful of the twilight state, |
| Guilt fills the darkened slate. |
| Oh, why did I interfere with his life, |
| Finding fault with his new wife? |
|
|
| When I said the words I broke the trust. |
| The relationship of years was bust. |
| Not understanding of his basic need, |
| I accused her of a grave misdeed. |
|
|
| He cried, "With no proof, you have no right |
| To libel her name as black as night." |
| He labeled me then as his foe. |
| Blinded by love, he loved her so. |
|
|
| Time soon proved that he was wrong, |
| But even so he hung up the phone. |
| Slipping into slumber, I pay the fee |
| And dream the nightmare of leaving Lee. |
|
|
| His silent stares drove me to my car |
| And that day I gave him the NIMR. |
| I worked for years in my lighthouse lab |
| Secretly supporting his missions' tab. |
|
|
| I'm very proud of this man I once called friend |
| And I wish that someday his pride would bend. |
| Until that day I play with my cat that I named Lee |
| And we walk the sand of the beach beside the sea. |
